How do I remove paint from my break calipers? I'm going to have a lot of free time on my hands in the next few weeks and I want to get my car in good shape (visually as well as mechanical). I just wanted to know what I can use to remove break caliper paint. It's been on for about 2 years and shows no sign of fading/wearing. Is there something I can buy to remove it easily or will it be hell? thanks for any replies.

 

paint remover. get the stuff you brush on that way you can keep it away from the rubber seals on the piston and such

 

is it in a spray can? will it take away the high temp engine paint?

 

You can use aircraft paint remover. I used it to take the paint of my bros CBR rims. You can find it at pep boys or ace or walmart. It works really fast.

 

Make sure you buy the proper gloves for that stuff too, it's heavy duty. I've used that and the marine paint stripper before and you don't want to get that stuff on your skin. I'd suggest a full face shield too....

 

ok cool thanks for the replies guys...

 

or just put some brake fluid on it. it'll eat that stuff right off. ~
but i think paint remover is safer.
